Hanna is going to hit NYS as far west as Syracuse. My neck of the woods is going to have the effects of Gustav tonight through Sunday morning.
Hanna is going to be quite a rain maker.
Lil... on a side note. They are reporting that Ike may follow the same path as Andrew. Please be safe.

Thanks, Howie. I'm following that one very, very closely, and already have my boards up.

This is quite an active season..everywhere

Looking at our news web site, there is reports that Hanna will drop more then 10 inches of rain in certain areas. Flash flood warnings are going up along the coast through Rhode Island.
In NYC, I expect low lying areas, areas along the water and possibly that the subways, MN & LIRR will be impacted.
Hoping that the reports will be wrong.
All be safe.

WABC said there would be 2-4 inches of rain generally across the area. Also wind gusts of up to 60MPH are possible in eastern LI and portions of the Connecticut coast. Though it certainly doesn't look like anything is near us right now...

Tomorrow will just be a good day to stay indoors and watch a movie. There's also a tropical storm watch in effect for the area.

So how safe are we in NYC really?

Ah I just hope it rains towards the evening hours of tomorrow, suppose to be going out for a while.

Shouldn't be too bad in the city with wind gusts around 45MPH. Not much worse than a typical nor'easter.

Gotta love the weather reports on our local stations. One reports that we will see rain from Gustav and another states that Hanna will impact us.
